Yes, I need more info! :P The users here have a bad habit of deleting files that they then need next week. Or the next day. Or whenever later.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, and I'll start digging myself. /====================================================\ | Michael Luevane * Network Administrator | | Quantec, LLC * 503-228-2992 | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] * http://www.quantecllc.com | \====================================================/ -----Original Message----- From: John H Terpstra [mailto:jht@;samba.org] Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 4:31 PM To: Michael Luevane Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Samba] Delete files On Tue, 22 Oct 2002, Michael Luevane wrote: > Hello, all. > > What mechanism does samba use to delete a file on a *nix box when deleted > from a connected Win2k machine? > > In other words, does it run the rm -f command?

It unlinks the file, but you can use a loadable VFS module to change the way that low level file system calls get handled. > I'm interested in creating an undelete shell script that keeps files from > "accidentally-on-purpose" being erased from the fileserver. Have you checked the samba source code. Samba-2.2.6 has a recycle bin facility that might fit your needs. The samba-team binary and source RPM packages for Caldera OpenLinux, SuSE Linux, Red Hat Linux and Mandrake Linux all include ready to run loadable VFS modules for this recycle bin functionality. If you need more info please ask. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
